Winners receive prizes

Winners of the National Day lottery and artistic competition received their prizes from members of the National Day Committee and sponsors in a short ceremony at the Sea Front Restaurant on Friday afternoon.

Fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Marie of Glacis received the Star prize which is a plot of land situated at Anse Royale.  Questioned about what she intends to do with her newly acquired property, Elizabeth said that she will wait until she is an adult and build a house.

The 1st prize, a trip for two to Aldabra sponsored by the Seychelles Islands Foundation, has gone to David Onezia of Greenwich while the 2nd prize of R100,000 cash went to Louis Bédier of Côte d’Or Praslin.

The 3rd, 4th and 5th prizes, all cash prizes of R75,000, R50,000 and R25,000 respectively have been won by Antoine Dorothé of Union Vale, Robin Sullivan of Beau Vallon, and Damien Toule Thilatier from Les Mamelles.
